    EXTENSION OF THE DEADLINE FOR COMMENCEMENT OF CONSTRUCTION OF A 
              HYDROELECTRIC PLANT IN THE STATE OF WYOMING

  The bill (S. 244) to extend the deadline for commencement of 
construction of a hydroelectric project in the State of Wyoming, was 
read the third and passed, as follows:

                                 S. 244

       Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of 
     the United States of America in Congress assembled,

     SECTION 1. EXTENSION OF TIME FOR THE FEDERAL ENERGY 
                   REGULATORY COMMISSION HYDROELECTRIC PROJECT.

       Notwithstanding the time period specified in section 13 of 
     the Federal Power Act (16 U.S.C. 806) that would otherwise 
     apply to the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission project 
     numbered 1651, the Commission may, at the request of the 
     licensee for the project, and after reasonable notice, in 
     accordance with the good faith, due diligence, and public 
     interest requirements of that section and the Commission's 
     procedures under that section, extend the time period during 
     which the licensee is required to commence the construction 
     of the project for 3 consecutive 2-year periods from the date 
     of the expiration of the extension originally issued by the 
     Commission.
